�ODl1CT NEWS New 6.2 mm 0 VideoProbe® System with Working Channel Everest VIT has developed a multi-purpose,6.2 mm diameter VideoProbe system with a working channel that combines foreign object debris(FOD)retrieval capabilities,optical tip adaptors, StereoProbe° measurement, still image and video capture capabilities in one scope. The 6.2 mm diameter scope was initially developed to meet a military aviation requirement,butthe small diametersize combined with the abilityto use internal working tools,make it ideal for retrievals and inspections in commercial aviation and across many industries. Loose parts and debris in any confined space can cause serious damage. Foreign objects lodged inside pipes,valves,tubes,heat exchangers,tanks or vessels can also jeopardize safety and efficiencies in manufacturing,process and power generation systems. The 6.2 mm diameter scope provides a complete solution for the borescope professional.It's the one tool that should be in every inspector's toolbox. The small 6.2 mm diameter scope uses the same working channel tools as its larger sister scope—the 7.3 mm diameter VideoProbe XL PROTM system,including: • 4 mm dia.magnet • 8 mm dia.magnet • Large alligator claw • 3-prong grabber • Small alligator claw • Brush • Snare • F110 shim installation tool 6.2 mm 0 VideoProbe system with working tools • F100 hook (for hook and drag inspection on second stage turbine stator vane inspection) • Measurement comparator gauge(for go-no-go comparison) and rotor blades. While the scope is attached to the blade the inspector obtains a clear view of the second stage stator blade's leading edges. The product has already been approved for use on F100,F101,F108,F110,F118 and F119 aircraft engines and is in the process of becoming part of the allowance standard The 6.2 mm diameter VideoProbe working channel system is available in both XL for all U.S.Air Force military aircraft and their respective engines. PRO and XL PRO Plus versions as well as base,digital,advanced and measurement configurations.The XL PRO Plus VideoProbe system features the ability to record digital A unique application for the 6.2 mm diameter VideoProbe working channel system is still images as well as record audio and video in either MPEG1 or MPEG2 video formats, the"hook and drag"inspection performed on certain military engines,such as the F100 either on its internal 32MB flash memory or on a removable CompactFlash°(CF)card turbofan. In this inspection,the scope is navigated through the first stage turbine stator with Gigabyte storage capability.An ergonomic hand-piece provides a high-resolution, vanes and into the first stage rotor blades. The working channel hook tool is then used color LCD screen for viewing and playback,and also allows one-handed operation of the to attach the scope to a turbine blade. While attached,the core of the engine is slowly joystick to provide All-Way°tip articulation and menu control.It also offers users the rotated,carrying the scope through the passage created between the first stage stator capability to stream digital video directly to a personal computer via its USB streaming video port. Working Channel Probe Provides Added Benefit for Commercial Aircraft Engines For every jet engine,foreign object debris(FOD)can cause millions of dollars in damage borescope access ports. Through these ports,the user has access to the low-pressure and unnecessary engine removal and repair. Couple that with Extended Twin Engines compressor, high-pressure compressor, combustor, high-pressure turbine and low- Operations(ETOPS)requirements and the stakes become even higher. pressure turbine.
